FINALLY GOT A WIN! By: Heather Monden
On Friday, July 10th the Campbell Insurance WOBA bantam boy’s hardball team played a nearly error-free game, on their home turf, enabling them to clinch their first win of the season over the Listowel Legionnaires.

Tyson McINTOSH was the starting pitcher for the game. He dominated on the mound for three innings, walking only two batters and striking out a third.

Reid RAMSEYER caught for the first half of the game. He kept his team in line from behind the plate. Ryan HARMER seamlessly took over in the fourth for the remaining of the game.

Judd WALKER made his pitching debut at the top of the fourth. This wild card earned his title as he cleaned up on the mound. The smile could not be wiped from his face as he finished three innings with zero walks and a strike out under his belt. I’m pretty confident that you will be seeing this kid take to the pitcher’s mound again in the near future.

Honourable mention goes to Jackson MacARTHUR who was on fire in the infield. He was responsible for or aided in six outs for his team. Not to mention he had a big hit in the sixth and earned himself an RBI.

Mitchell was on the sticks all game long. They drove in runs almost every inning. HARMER, WALKER and Drew MacLEAN each got two runs while Zach WARD, RAMSEYER, McINTOSH and Johannes RENECKER each brought in singles. Jake MONDEN batted in three RBI’s.

The game flew by and we made it to the seventh inning before the 2 hour time limit. MONDEN was the closer. He kept this game very exciting for all of the fans. Listowel tried to tie up the game, but Mitchell had not lost an inning yet, so they were not about to give it up now. Mitchell held their lead, their last bat was not required and they ran off of the field with a 10 to 9 win! Exciting game boys! Keep it up!
